Linux native editor won't start
Reply on sbox.game-
Nothing happens past the editor's loading screen. I'm running the sbox-dev executable directly since the editor doesn't work through Steam right now. I'm on CachyOS.

edited:Same. Given a few ties here is a partial stacktrace.
hb_font_create that then goes to libc. So it seems i am missing a font or something like it.PID: 18221 (sbox-dev) TID: 18221 (sbox-dev) UID: 1000 (dauser) GID: 1000 (dauser) Signal: 6 (ABRT) si_code: SI_TKILL Timestamp: Thu 2026-09-03 10:34:23 CST (9s ago) Command Line: /home/dauser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/sbox-dev /home/dauser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/sbox-launcher /home/dauser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/sbox-dev -project $'/home/dauser/Documents/S&box Projects/p/p.sbproj' Executable: /home/dauser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/sbox-dev Control Group: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/[email protected] Unit: [email protected] User Unit: [email protected] Slice: user-1000.slice Owner UID: 1000 (dauser) Boot ID: 0 Machine ID: 0 Hostname: my-arch Storage: /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.sbox-dev.1000.7bfda6db6ad34d26af0cdff321f45f06.18221.1788402863000000.zst (present) Size on Disk: 294.1M Message: Process 18221 (sbox-dev) of user 1000 dumped core.

We will have to start looking into the engine, to see where the path for the libs get chosen. As it would vary between windows and linux but both should be in the /bin
I am still getting the font crash dump but at this point I guess it is a red herring as it happens after all these failiuers/home/dauser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/sbox-dev -project "/home/dauser/Documents/S&box Projects/p/p.sbproj" 01:03:12 Generic Hammer is unavailable, its native library didn't load (Failed to load native library 'tools/libhammer.so'.

edited:someone reportet the font bug already> -
Same it crashes after loading a project
-
With the Github issue I was able to find an easy workarround. If you have the editor added as a non-steam game add this to the launch options:
LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/bin/linuxsteamrt64/libHarfBuzzSharp.so %command%
Otherwise add it before the exe in a shell.LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/sbox/bin/linuxsteamrt64/libHarfBuzzSharp.so ./sbox-dev
Have Fun. -
^^ this works but the viewport doesn't react to any inputs for me :/
-
Same and it runs pretty badly
-
viewport doesn't react
It's a known issue, and I hope they fix it soon. -
Do you have a link to the issue?viewport doesn't react
It's a known issue, and I hope they fix it soon.
